Mark 11
1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
And as they approached Jerusalem, near by Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.
and said to them: Go ye to the village that is over against us, and as soon as ye enter it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no person hath ridden: loose him, and bring him hither.
3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
And, if any one say to you, Why do ye this? Say ye to him: Because our Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will send him hither.
4 They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
And they went, and they found the colt tied, by the door, without in the street. And as they were loosing him,
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
some of those standing there, said to them: What do ye, untying the colt?
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
And they said to them, as Jesus had commanded them; and they permitted them.
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments upon him, and set Jesus upon him.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
And many spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
And those preceding him, and those following him shouted and said: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."
And blessed is the advancing kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest heavens.
11 And he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
And Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when evening arrived, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
And the following day, as he left Bethany, he was hungry:
13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
and he saw a fig-tree at a distance, on which were leaves, and he came to it, if he could find somewhat on it. And when he had come, he found on it only leaves; for the time of figs had not arrived.
14 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
And he said to it: Henceforth and for ever, let no man eat fruit from thee: and the disciples heard it. And they came to Jerusalem. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
And Jesus entered the temple of God: and he began to cast out those who bought and sold in the temple; and he overturned the counters of the money-brokers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
And he suffered no one to carry goods through the temple.
17 He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers."
And he taught them, and said: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations? But ye have made it a den of robbers.
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
And the chief priests and the Scribes heard him, and they sought how they might destroy him; for they were afraid of him, because all the people admired his doctrine.
19 When evening came, they went out of the city.
And when it was evening, they went out from the city.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up, as it were, from its root.
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
And Simon remembered, and said to him: Rabbi; behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst, is dried up.
22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
And Jesus replied, and said to them: Have faith in God.
23 Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
Verily I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and fall into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said will occur, to him will be the thing he spoke.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Therefore I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall pray and ask for, believe that it will be, and it will be to you.
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your wrongdoing.
And when ye stand up to pray, forgive what ye have against any one; that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive your offences.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
For if ye forgive not, your Father also who is in heaven will not forgive you your offences.
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and Scribes and Elders came to him,
28 and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee the authority to do these things?
29 Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
And Jesus said to them: I also will ask you one thing, that ye may tell me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Tell me.
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
And they reasoned with themselves, and said: If we should say to him, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.
But if we should say, From men; there is fear from the people; for they have all held John to be truly a prophet.
33 They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
And they answered, and said to Jesus: We do not know. He said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
